The International 2016 (Aug 3rd - 13th)

I'd go with the hacked idea as well.

Secret going public with reshuffle drama during a tournament isn't a new thing.

Puppey seemed to stay out of it last time though. It was goofball owner that went public first if I recall correctly.

I spoke too soon. Does look like he was hacked, but I still hate the guy.
 
How does it work if a team gets a direct invite?

I think where the team has its base it's what determines its region. The organization/sponsor criteria varies a lot, isn't Alliance owned by the same american organization that owns EG?

TL is European, yet at TI4 they were "NA" (I think all their players were either from the US or Canada).

Alliance (Swedish) is owned by GGA (USA), which also owns EG (USA).
GGA is owned by Twitch (USA).
Twitch is owned by Amazon (USA).
 
Hacker is posting chat logs from puppey's phone now it seems. Chat log from last year's ti about kuro in particular. I won't link it here but if you look on reddit, you'll find it.
 
What does it say? Not stepping foot on r/dota2.

Puppey is super arrogant and uses derogatory terms regarding Kuro. Also lots of filthy talk about people manipulating each other for business. Something about Zai faking friendship with Kuro, and smoking with him, only so that the team does not break before TI. Also, something about how Puppey would break all of Kuro's teeth and make a talk to destroy his being, his emotions and all his ambitions.

I am very disappointed with Puppey. I always thought he was faking the arrogance to be funny.

Based on what is that WhatsApp chatlog genuine? I think we should not jump to conclusion.
 
apparently zai was micromanaging the courier to pick up a gem and get back to base at the same time he executed that ridiculous juke in the rosh pit vs sand king

he is actually a machine

Its going to be interesting what he does after TI6. I believe he's done with school and I dont know if he'd want to move to the US or play with an american team at odd hours. Back to Secret?

he seemed pretty sour about the ti5 secret breakup and clearly likes playing with the eg lineup, i'd be surprised if he goes anywhere so long as the rest of the team sticks together

The questionable part is Puppey should be on the right side of the conversation. But on the other hand, 1437's has been hacked countless times already so it's not that much of a stretch that they'd get to his whatsapp/messenger account also.
